Liu Xuan said in a deep voice: "Tao Qian is sick, so no matter what, you have to take action against Xuzhou." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoOtherwise, if we don't take action, then Cao Cao or Yuan Shu will also take action. ”

Jia Xu said: "Your Highness is wise! ”

Liu Xuan said: "It's not easy to plan Xuzhou, what do you think?" ”

Guo Jiadao: "I think that the strategy of planning Xuzhou should be a soldier who surrenders without a fight. Especially with Chen Deng's assistance, it will be easier. ”

Liu Xuan said: "How to operate? ”

Guo Jia said: "Your Highness, lowly duties are considered like this,......

Immediately, Guo Jia proposed the whole plan.

After Liu Xuan listened to it, he quickly deduced it again, and he agreed with it in his heart. He looked at Jia Xu and said, "Master Jia, what do you think?" ”

Jia Xu said: "Your Highness, the old man agrees with Guo Junshi's plan. Only this time, I'm afraid that Cao Cao and Yuan Shu will intervene, so it is advisable to prepare for war as soon as possible. ”

Liu Xuan nodded and said, "That's the truth!" ”

After a pause, Liu Xuan instructed: "Master Jia, send a message to Chen Deng and let him take action." ”

"Yes!"

When Jia Xu got the news, he immediately sent someone to deliver the message.

……

Yanzhou!

State Pastoral Office.

Cao Cao also got the news that Tao Qian was seriously ill, and when he learned of this, Cao Cao directly sent someone to invite Xun Yu, Xun You, Xi Zhicai, and Cheng Yu to the study to discuss matters.

Cao Cao said: "Since last year, Tao Qian has been seriously ill. The latest news came back that Tao Qian was terminally ill. I guess it won't last long, what do you think about it? ”

Cheng Yu stroked his beard under his chin and said, "Lord, Xuzhou is a strategic place and must be taken." ”

Xun You said: "If we don't seize Xuzhou, Liu Xuan will also intervene." Even, Yuan Shu will intervene. This time, we can't sit back and watch Xuzhou fall into the hands of Liu Xuan or Yuan Shu. ”

Xi Zhicai said: "Gongda is reasonable, this time, I have to intervene no matter what." ”

Cao Cao said: "It's just that now for Xuzhou, I'm going to tear my face with Liu Xuan." ”

Xun Yu smiled and said, "Is the lord afraid of Liu Xuan?" ”

Cao Cao shook his head and chuckled, and said, "Dong Zhuo has never scared this official, let alone Liu Xuan?" Although Liu Xuan is resourceful, the official is not afraid of him. Liu Xuan has Guo Jia, Jia Xu, and Tian Feng, and there are also talented and strategic people such as you under the command of this official. On the military generals, this official is not afraid of Liu Xuan. The reason why I am reluctant to tear my face is because the advantages of cooperating with Liu Xuan now outweigh the disadvantages. ”

Xun Yu Zhengse said: "The lord's words are reasonable, at present, the cooperation between Yanzhou and Qingzhou is indeed beneficial to us." But in the world of great controversy, this is something that cannot be helped. Especially when it comes to Xuzhou, we can't sit idly by. ”

Xi Zhicai said: "Regarding this battle, I think it should be divided into two steps. ”

Cao Cao said: "Which two steps? ”

Xi Zhicai replied: "The first step is to incite Yuan Shu as much as possible and let Yuan Shu meddle in the affairs of Xuzhou." Second, after Yuan Shu contained Liu Xuan and Liu Xuan were both defeated, he intervened in the war in Xuzhou. ”

Cao Cao said: "How to incite Yuan Shu? ”

Xi Zhicai said: "This is actually not difficult, it is nothing more than Liu Xuan's threat theory." ”

Cao Cao pondered for a moment and said, "This official understands the analysis of the military advisor, but in order to do so, it is necessary to send a person who can speak well to Yangzhou and persuade Yuan Shu to send troops." ”

Xi Zhicai said: "I am wishing to go!" ”

Xi Zhicai put forward a plan, and he was willing to go there in person.

Cao Cao said: "The status of the military advisor is important, and it is not appropriate to go in person. ”

Xi Zhicai shook his head and refused: "This battle is very important, whether or not you can persuade Yuan Shu to succeed is related to the success or failure of this battle." Therefore, the lowly duty must be visited in person. ”

Cao Cao saw that he couldn't persuade him, so he said: "Since the military advisor insists on going, this official will no longer persuade him." The official asked Xu Chu to take a team of soldiers to escort the military division to Yuan Shu's jurisdiction. ”

Before, Cao Cao broke through Yuzhou, and Yuan Shu couldn't resist it.

It stands to reason that Cao Cao and Yuan Shu are enemies, so Cao Cao is reluctant to let Xi Zhicai go.

But at this time and that time, Xi Zhicai is going to go now, and Cao Cao agrees.

After discussing the specific plan with Cao Cao and others, Xi Zhicai got up and left the state pastor's mansion, and soon joined Xu Chu, leading a team of soldiers to quietly leave Yanzhou and go straight to Yangzhou.

Yangzhou, Jiujiang County.

Yuan Shu got the news of Xuzhou, although he had a heart, but he also had more than enough heart and not enough strength.

On the one hand, Yuan Shu faced a threat from Cao Cao. On the other hand, once Yuan Shu attacked Xuzhou, he was also worried that his strength would be insufficient after sending troops. So Yuan Shu was greedy, but he was helpless.

Governor's Mansion!

Yuan Shu discussed the matter with his advisers Yan Xiang, Zhang Xun, and Qiao Rui.

Yuan Shu said: "Tao Qian is dying, and the turmoil in Xuzhou is imminent. This official knows that Xuzhou is a piece of fat, and he also knows that once he sends troops to attack Xuzhou, he is easy to be attacked by Cao Cao. But I really can't bear to miss this good opportunity, tell me, what are your suggestions? ”

Yan Xiang said: "My lord, I don't think it's appropriate to send troops. ”

"Why?" Yuan Shu asked.

Regarding Yan Xiang's suggestion not to send troops, Yuan Shu was not very happy in his heart.

There is an opportunity to live up to, and you must not miss it.

Yan Xiang explained: "Lord, Xuzhou is a piece of meat, everyone can see it. But whether this piece of meat can be swallowed or not is another matter. Not to mention the difficulty of attacking Xuzhou, once we capture Xuzhou, we will directly face Cao Cao and directly border Liu Xuan. In such a situation, our situation becomes quite delicate and very dangerous. ”

Yuan Shu said: "It is not so easy for Liu Xuan to defeat this official. As for Cao Cao, there is nothing unusual. ”

As a person from the Yuan family, Yuan Shu looked down on Cao Cao.

Even Liu Xuan is difficult to enter Yuan's magic eyes.

Yan Xiang looked at Yuan Shu's stubborn face, his expression was tense, and he was very embarrassed.

"Report!"

Suddenly, a soldier hurried in.

The soldier saluted and said, "My lord, the Yanzhou envoy asked to see him." ”

"Xi Zhicai?"

Yuan Shu was very surprised, he didn't expect Xi Zhi to come. You must know that Xi Zhi is Cao Cao's military advisor, and his identity is very important. Now that Xi Zhicai has come in person, it can be seen how much Cao Cao attaches great importance to it.

After being surprised, Yuan Shu regained his composure.

Yuan Shu said: "Please! ”

The soldier stepped back and turned to inform.

Yan Xiang's mind turned, and he suddenly said: "Lord, Xi Zhi is here, he must have instigated the lord to attack Tao Qian." The lord must not agree, and he must not be tricked. ”

When Yuan Shu heard this, he didn't like it.

Grow the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige.

Yuan Shu didn't like such a move.

Yuan Shu waved his hand, signaled Yan Xiang to shut up, and then said, "This official knows." ”

After a while, Xi Zhi walked in.

After Xi Zhicai stood still, he arched his hand and said, "Yanzhou Xi Zhicai, I have seen Lord Yuan." ”
